35th Street Bistro
206-547-9850
709 N 35th,
Seattle
Fremont
Bistro is a word that gets tossed around a lot, but it really is appropriate here. It's a small café-style spot with mixed wood furniture, live trees and a small bar area with a few tall tables to go with the bar seating. Whenever possible, they use local, organic foods. Dishes include braised meats and fresh seafood. There's a good-sized wine list with plenty of by-the-glass options. Tasty brunch and bar menu.

Carnegie's
206-789-6643
2026 NW Market St,
Seattle
Ballard
When you're in the mood for something a bit more upper crust, consider Carnegie's. Antiques, lots of dark wood accents, white linens and curved walls in several rooms offer a lovely environment. The full bar is a nice place to try a Pernod (or a Bud Light--your choice) and sample a small plate, appetizer or cheese selection. The dining room menu changes, but you can usually find beef, chicken, maybe Wiener Schnitzel and coq au vin, seafood and lamb.

pair
206-526-7655
5501 30th Ave NE,
Seattle
Ravenna
pair business cards read "food.wine." Pretty darned simple. Concept: simple. They provide various small plates and you mix and match to create the perfect dinner for you. Interior: simple. Almost stark, yet you settle in and feel right at home. Food: seems simple, but it is a deception. There is great complexity and flavor in the dishes and desserts; you'll want to return and try them all.

622 Broadway East,
Seattle
Capitol Hill
Choose from the prix fixe dinner with numerous small portions served on a tray Thali style or go for a selection of "smallies" at varying prices. Don't confuse Thali-style serving with Indian food. It's the style of service, but the food is Northwest, international, eclectic kind of stuff. It would be rare to be disappointed. If you have trouble hearing in loud restaurants, go early. Once it gets packed, it's pretty loud.

Russell's can be a slight challenge to find, but don't give up--it's well worth the extra effort. Owned by Russell Lowell of catering fame, the dishes are a delight.

The long room has the feel of wine country with nicely spaced tables, fireplaces and interesting artwork. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, full bar.
